TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the impact of delaying the first birth on Italian mothers' labor market outcomes around childbirth, and found that delaying motherhood by one year raises the likelihood of participating in the labor market by 1.2% points and weekly working time by about half an hour.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between child-timing intentions and subsequent reproductive outcomes and found that the lack of agreement between partners has an inhibiting effect on couple's pregnancy-seeking behavior because inertia and social norms favor the partner who does not want to have a(nother) child.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the determinants of the partners' fertility intentions for the first and the second child using household-level micro data, and found that couples in which the female partner has a higher education than the male partner are particularly exposed to a conflict, especially if the male intends to have a child.
